"Laura Reagan, host of Creature X, wants to leave North America behind and step out from the shadow of her father's cryptozoological research. She leads her team to Umboi Island, off the coast of Papua New Guinea, to shoot a cryptozoological documentary about the mysterious ropen, a bioluminescent pterosaur-like creature that has somehow survived extinction. They're sharing a camp with a U.K.-based team of scientists, and not all of their hosts are extending a warm welcome. In a stroke of luck, Laura and some team members see a mysterious purple light above the trees. Could it actually be what they're searching for? But the hunt for the ropen takes a drastic turn when a body turns up in the Creature X camp, and it belongs to someone from the team's past. With walkie-talkies and satellite phones down, Laura and her team are stuck on the island with a murderer -- and no chance of help."--… (more)
